Major Shock is an elemental bolt spell which enables the caster to hurl a powerful bolt of lightning from the palm of the hand toward a designated target. This is a much more powerful version Minor Shock (901). The Attack Strength for this spell is primarily a function of the caster's Spell Aiming skill and Dexterity bonus, although other spells, such as Elemental Focus (513) and Elemental Targeting (425), can add significantly to its effectiveness. Successful attacks will cause the target to sustain hitpoint damage and possibly lightning based critical injuries.

Usage

  • CAST {target} or INCANT this spell to hurl a lightning bolt at a target.

Lores Benefits

Training in either Elemental Lore, Water and/or Elemental Lore, Air will increase the spell's damage factors. The increase is .001 per two ranks for the first 100 ranks and .001 per four ranks for ranks 101 to 200. There is no requirement to train in both lores to increase the damage factors for this spell. Total lore bonus with 200 ranks (300 skill) is .075.
